This group of 25 or so dealers/installers from across the country meet a couple of times a year to discuss mutual problems and issues that affect our industry. They also come up with solutions that make the technical side of the business better. These companies and others like them take the raw material provided by equipment manufacturers and install and maintain it. These men and women represent you the users and ensure that you receive exactly what you need for your operation. They work together to share ideas and technology that originates with them. If a solution to a particular parking issue originates in Minneapolis and another member’s customer in New Orleans has a similar problem, a quick phone call, email, or even site visit and bring a solution to bear.
I was honored to speak with these entrepreneurs and left the meeting charged with optimism about our industry and the people that support it
